IPL!

Just got the news that Gautam Gambhir will not be available for the West Indies tour because of injury!! Frustrating!! A bad news for people like us!! There was a time when IPL was a boon for me. I got a chance to see more and more cricket, to see my favorite retired players playing again and to see the passion of talented young players on the stadium. But now after reading the news about various injuries and test retirement, my heart is so broken! I don’t want IPL on the cost of injuries which keep my cricketers away from ODI & Test series. I don’t want IPL on the cost of retirement of my cricketers from Test and ODI cricket. This is ruining & killing the real cricket. I disagree with the players who are taking retirement from Test & ODI's to save themselves for T20 cricket. There was a time when every cricketer had a dream to play in whites; to play test cricket was the dream of every cricketer but now it is the IPL!! Strange, how things have changed!

I am worried for one more thing…..where is the loyalty gone! The players from Punjab are playing for Pune, the players from Mumbai are playing for Punjab or from Rajasthan. So can you expect them to give their all while playing? Do you expect that a team win will matter so much for them? I don’t agree! They are just playing because they are getting paid for it with no enthusiasm for their team or for their game! It's just us who are attached to our team so much! I am personally so much attached to Rajasthan Royals that each and every win or loss is similar to winning or losing a war for me! But what about the players? Sad  to say but they are not much attached! They are just playing a game and  after losing, its like a normal day for them. Since they are not from Rajasthan, it doesn’t make so much difference for them!! It's not just about my team but it doesn’t make any difference to most of them! Harsh reality!

Another important point to discuss here is the selection criteria. Why BCCI is considering the IPL performance as selection criteria for the National team? Why the hell Ranji and other domestic leagues are for? There are so many good players like Ajinkya & Rayudu who has exceptional records in Ranji but is it necessary for them to perform in IPL to get a chance! A player who is doing well in IPL is getting a chance easily to play in the National team then why can’t a good Ranji player?

So what's the solution of these problems? My biggest concern is the loss of real cricket in future! According to my opinion, IPL should be limited to Retired and Domestic players. Those players who are currently playing in their national teams should not be allowed to play in it! In that case, there won't be a need to make a special window for IPL and the players will be easily available for IPL. The retired players will have a good time playing cricket again who all are already so passionate for cricket. We had already seen their performances in previous IPL's which proves my statement. And yeah, for domestic players who need to prove and showcase their talent across the world could easily do so with the help of IPL as they are already doing!

Well, this is just my opinion and any one can differ from it. I just wrote all this as a true cricket fan! I don’t want IPL to be just Injured Players League or Indian Paisa League!!

Sometimes being good is too bad :(

I tried hard to become a perfect, a better human; some one who never believed in criticizing others, some one who never want to fight with others, the one who never want people to change and accept them the way they are.

Now I feels that it is bad to be like such a person. People think that I pretend and this is not the real me. Is it my fault if I am not like others? Is it my fault that I am not manipulative and think from my heart for all those whom I am attached with? Is it my fault that to be an emotional person? Is it my fault that i chose to remain different and unique ?

How to make people believe that this is the real me and I don’t pretend to be someone else! This is the truth of my life and I am not an emotional drama queen! I do things from my heart and I am a true Scorpio! I am a passionate person obsessed about many things and sometimes i do things in extreme. I don’t show or pretend. I have extreme emotions which is difficult for people to understand who don’t have them!

Hiding sadness behind a big smile!

Have you ever loved the smile of someone a lot? I believe that there are many who has the most lovely and beautiful smile in this world! But what's the reason behind that smile? Do you think that they are those people who are very happy and their life is quite joyful which is the reason that they carry a pretty smile on their faces.

No, it isn't the case every time. The reality is that they hide their sadness behind their smiling faces. Some people don't share their pain with others, they don't like sharing their feelings, they don't want that others should know about their sufferings. 

I know some one, some one who smiles a lot and get dimples on her face. She is going through a tough phase and suffering a lot. I am the unlucky one who can see that deepness of that smile, who understands how good actress she is, who is hiding her pain behind that smile, hiding all her sorrows. I wish she could smile from within, i wish she could display a genuine one day.

Star is waiting for the Sun to be hers

This is the story of a star who is still waiting for the Sun to be hers.

The star is shining among the other fellow stars

But there is a sun who is lightening and fading other stars

The fellow stars got attracted by its huge light

But one star kept looking at the sun

That star was lost by the magic of Sun's power

Star felt the presence of God inside Sun's heart

The golden touch of sun made the star's life beautiful

Star stayed awake till morning to see the sun

The glimpse of that sun made the star's heartbeat run

That star is still waiting for the sun to be hers.

Star tried hard in hope that once she will get noticed

And the sun will once catch the star's eyes even if it is for a second

Once when the morning was about to come

The sun saw the star looking at him

Every morning now the same thing used to happen

That star is still waiting for the sun to be hers.

That star fell in love with the sun

She waits whole night for the sun to come

But the poor star never understand that the sun is not for her

Star is still in love with the sun

And is still waiting for the sun to be hers.

But for that Sun the tiny star doesn’t make any difference

The star cry at night when it misses the sun

But the Sun inspite of knowing this ignores its tears

And hides himself behind the clouds

That star is still waiting for the time when the Sun will be hers.

LOVE

Love...a four letter word which take away your heart, a word that touch your soul, increases your heartbeat, make you feel that you are at the top of this world.Nobody can give its proper definition...nobody can be sure if they are truly in love. It's a mystery, it's an illusion, it's a story told by everyone but still remained unheard...It's a feeling...it's a way to feel God.....It's a way of expressing. It has the power to become everyone's life motto, and to become the destiny! It's about caring for someone, It's about trusting someone more than our own self, it's to showcase our affection for people.

  Our whole life surrounds by these four letters; either in search of it or to feel it. Love has many different forms: It is shown by our mother when she cook delicious food for us when we return home or it is shown by our father when he get worried about our career or it is shown by our siblings by pulling our legs every time or it is shown by the care and affection of our beloved.

  I believe that it is a method to come closer to God, It's a way to feel God. It is pure, it is holy and it can't be written about so why am i trying to do it. Just feel it yourself, it's just about how you feel!

MORNING

MORNING

A new morning has arrived

The sun said this with pride.

Open your eyes & feel the dew

The whole world will then seem to be new.

This was told by the flowers

Whose thoughts were like ours.

Life has so many twists and turns

Makes mind tensed when I return.

But this morning is so pleasant

For which I don’t have to give any rent.

The rest things are costly

Which we all require mostly.

We keep using our mind all the time

But morning remains still in our mind.

May be I will forget this beautiful creature

But like an old friend

It will remain with me always

To pure my heart & mind in all days.

My Inspiration and Motivation

I could easily relate to the character of Rizwan Khan from the movie "My name is khan". Rizwan Khan who wanted to meet the U.S. President desperately without knowing that it was just next to impossible to meet him as he was an ordinary person and the other one was extraordinary. Still he had a wish to meet him and he believed in his dreams.

In that similar way, i want to meet My Australian cricket team & Rajasthan Royals team desperately in spite of understanding the fact that I am just an ordinary fan and they are some extraordinary cricketers.There is a huge difference between us but like Rizwan Khan, I want to meet them. I don’t want to understand this difference between us and don't want to believe in it. Like Rizwan Khan, I believe in my dreams and know that my God will always help me to meet them; he will help me to fulfill my dream.

I have to remove this distance,this difference of fan and favorite! I want to reach to their level so that I can fulfill my dream of meeting them. I am sure that God will help me to do that! This is my motivation and inspiration that will help me to work hard for my dreams. I will work very hard and reduce this distance. I will reach to a higher position and then I will remember this day when I wrote this post!
